“Remember that the thankful heart is always close to the riches of the
universe.”
My very first book recommendation by a reader was The Power
of Your Subconscious Mind (TPYSM). I wouldn’t also hesitate to mention, that
this review is long overdue. Apologies to Maaz Momin for the delay, but I’m
finally here with a brutally honest review of this marveling book.
I had heard a few people talk about this book as one of the
most highly influential books for self-help. It has also been on the list of
the select few non-fictional books that seemed to have caught the attention of
the masses. The book consists of 20 topics that are basically questions that
any curious reader would tend to ask. (E.g. How to use your subconscious mind
for forgiveness, how it helps clear mental blocks, how to stay young in
spirit…etc.) Not all topics are questions, but most of them are. Every topic/
question is answered in the explanation that consists of various anecdotes,
life experiences, researched facts and so.
Due to the same, I felt like the book was dragged a little
and some notions or facts were made seriously incomprehensible. Some lessons
were worth every minute of reading, whereas some made me feel like there wasn’t
much good that came out of it for me. For this, I’d suggest the reader to sit
down and glance through the index and read through only those chapters which
seem of interest to you. Time and again you might want to come back to see if the
book holds any particular topic of your interest. This also makes the book act
more of a course-book or a reference book. And as Francis Bacon said, “Some
books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and
digested…” it is alright to not finish every book you start!
The book will seriously help you understand the vast and
unfathomable power that rests within the minds of every human being on this
planet. Joseph Murphy’s words are wisdom to live by. An overall 3/5 rating for
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind.
